38: Chapter 38: Forming the [Executioner Squad] and practicing boxing techniques with Lin Shaoyong!
Just as everyone was wondering what the "Divine Connection Mark" was, they saw Jiang Jin gently wave his hand forward, and sixteen mysterious marks emitting a pale golden light instantly flowed into their foreheads.
"As for how to use the Divine Connection Mark, you only need to recite it silently in your heart."
"After all, you will be performing various Transcendent missions in the future, so you need an official designation."
Jiang Jin pondered for a moment, his eyes lighting up. "Let's call it—the 'Executioner Squad'!"
"Meaning: Guardians of the orderly rules of the Transcendent world!"
"The 'Executioner Squad'?"
Zhou Guanying, Liu Jie, Lin Shaoyong, and the others looked pleased; they were clearly very satisfied with this codename.
"Lin Shaoyong, stay behind. The rest of you, return to Qixia Valley to be stationed there."
"Yes!"
Following Jiang Jin's order, Zhou Guanying led the team away first.
Vroom—the vehicles drove off with their headlights on, and silence returned to the courtyard.
Jiang Jin turned on the headlamp in the stone pavilion and looked at the burly Lin Shaoyong. "Have you studied martial arts since you were young?"
"Yes. My grandfather ran a martial arts school before the war era, and later, this martial art was passed down to me."
Lin Shaoyong smiled honestly.
"Perform a set of your signature fist techniques in the courtyard. Let me take a look."
"Yes!"
Lin Shaoyong nodded.
He immediately took off his black jacket, revealing his robust frame clad in a quick-dry vest, and performed a fluid, flowing set of Tiger Fists in the courtyard.
The movements weren't very loud, but as an [F+ Grade] Transcendent, Jiang Jin saw the essence at a glance; within the tiger-like, swift, and fierce fist techniques, there lay hidden an aura of rigid and explosive power!
"Your fist technique is not bad. What is it called?"
"This was passed down by my grandfather; it's called 'Lin Fist'."
"Come, teach me exactly how to perform it."
Jiang Jin rolled up his sleeves and began practicing with Lin Shaoyong with great interest.
About half an hour later, the two stopped.
"Master, your martial arts talent is simply terrifying!"
"When I learned 'Lin Fist' as a child, it took me at least a year to go from beginner to mastering it completely, but you only took a short half-hour!"
"With your talent, it would be such a waste not to specialize in martial arts!"
Lin Shaoyong looked at him with the expression one might reserve for a monster, exclaiming repeatedly.
Jiang Jin shook his head with a smile. "I don't feel like the fist technique is that hard to practice."
If it were before, he naturally wouldn't have had such high Comprehension Ability, but after stepping into the Transcendent Domain, his previously clogged meridians naturally opened up like a floodgate.
"Come, let's spar. You don't need to hold back; let me see the true standard of 'Lin Fist'."
"Alright!"
After saying this, Lin Shaoyong moved like a tiger descending the mountain, swinging his fists and smashing towards Jiang Jin.
This guy was quite honest; he did exactly what he was told. If it were Zhou Guanying, he would definitely put on a show and wouldn't dare to use his full strength.
After all, they were top-tier combat soldiers, and their vicious combat methods were beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
To put it bluntly, if they used their full strength, any one of the sixteen could knock down ten street thugs with their bare hands in under thirty seconds!
Bang!
When Lin Shaoyong's fist swung over, Jiang Jin swung out in response, their fists colliding directly in mid-air and producing a dull thud.
Although Jiang Jin's physique wasn't as large as Lin Shaoyong's, he was, after all, an [F+ Grade] Transcendent. His power, following his initial promotion, was still quite terrifying, directly vibrating Lin Shaoyong's arm until it went numb!
"Master, your strength is huge!"
Lin Shaoyong smiled honestly, his expression turning serious. "However, I have plenty of combat experience, so you'd better be careful!"
"Haha, bring it on."
Jiang Jin stretched his body and laughed heartily.
Thud—
The two sparred together again in the open space in front of the courtyard, dust rising slightly, figures moving fiercely, the scene exceptionally exciting and intense.
As the number one in hand-to-hand combat, Lin Shaoyong hadn't yet stepped into the Transcendent Domain, but with the support of his combat techniques, he seemed to transform into a fierce tiger, with every move and style carrying astonishing sharp force.
Jiang Jin was not to be outdone; the 'Lin Fist' he had mastered in less than an hour was played with great flair by him.
He even innovated on the original foundation, unleashing a terrifying fist technique that was more in line with human anatomy than the original!
"Swish!"
When Jiang Jin unleashed a combo of fist techniques and forced Lin Shaoyong back several steps, this sparring session, which had lasted nearly an hour, finally came to an end.
"Huff, huff, huff..."
Lin Shaoyong was covered in sweat, panting heavily, his hands resting on his thighs, sweat dripping from his back onto the ground through his soaked quick-dry vest.
It wasn't until half a minute later that Lin Shaoyong calmed down, looking at Jiang Jin in amazement and saying:
"Master, your strength is too powerful, and coupled with your super-high Comprehension Ability to innovate on 'Lin Fist', I am simply no match for you."
"Power breaks all laws... When there is an absolute gap in strength, it simply cannot be made up for by ordinary technical means."
Jiang Jin also wiped the sweat from his forehead; he had gained a great deal from this sparring session.
Immediately after, with a thought, two gray-yellow eggs the size of a water cup appeared in his hands.
"These are eggs from a [Tier 1 • Wild Pheasant], very fresh. Try one."
Handing one to Lin Shaoyong, Jiang Jin tapped the gray-yellow egg in his hand hard against a stone pillar several times before the hard shell finally cracked open a few fissures.
"Master, are we eating these raw?"
Seeing Jiang Jin pour the flowing egg liquid directly into his mouth, Lin Shaoyong grinned and followed suit, eating it as well.
"This is a Transcendent Egg; only by eating it raw can you maximize the absorption of pure energy."
"Slurp!"
"Is this a Transcendent Egg? It tastes really good, not fishy at all..."
Lin Shaoyong drank the egg liquid up.
Before he could finish his comment, he felt the strength he had consumed during the sparring session instantly recover, and his whole body felt like it had been plugged into high-voltage electricity; his strength was bursting, as if he had an endless supply of energy!
"Master, this Transcendent Egg of yours is too terrifying!"
"Hehe, are there any more? How about giving me a few more?"
"In your dreams. When you manage to beat 'Chicken Brother,' go and steal them from it yourself."
Jiang Jin was speechless and then added:
"Also, this egg liquid contains pure Transcendent energy. If you can absorb it completely, you should be able to reach [F+ Grade], which is my current Transcendent level."
"Really? Then I'll go absorb it now!"
"..."
After dinner.
Seeing Lin Shaoyong still sitting cross-legged on a mat in the courtyard, quietly absorbing the pure Transcendent energy within his body, Jiang Jin dismissed the idea of continuing to spar.
After watching the bright moonlight hanging high in the sky for a while, he lay back on his rocking chair, and his consciousness entered the Singularity Universe.
...
On the ten-thousand-square-meter Origin Continent, Jiang Jin's figure slowly descended.
More than a day had passed in the outside world, but over two months had passed here.
After the Destined One's first Transmigration trial, the natural aura bursting forth between heaven and earth had become much richer.
